شراكات:
The Association has sought to establish partnerships with relevant government ministries to serve citizens across various fields, contribute to social cohesion, and deepen social awareness, while striving to build a society based on justice and participation.
The Association has also worked to strengthen its relationship with the private sector to provide social safety networks, especially given the decline in the state’s social and service role, and to guide this sector in addressing the growing number of socially marginalized individuals and extending support to them.
The importance of building partnerships with civil society organizations lies in their role as intermediaries between the state and the people. They encompass groups that support issues related to development, participation, and social harmony, forming an essential part of the societal framework that enables individuals to participate, express their opinions, meet their needs, develop their potential, and take control of their lives.
The Association’s activities with its surrounding community are diverse, including social, cultural, literary, and scientific initiatives, in addition to various environmental and sports activities.
The importance of engaging with international organizations is evident in multiple ways, most notably in benefiting from their support to strengthen the Association’s priorities and initiatives. It also includes leveraging their expertise in human resource development, networking with similar institutions in other countries, and collaborating to uphold the shared human values that the Association strives to promote.
In this context, the Association maintains partnerships with various United Nations organizations, including ESCWA, UNESCO, UNRWA, the UN Development Programme, UNICEF, the World Health Organization, the World Bank, the International Labour Organization, and the Arab Gulf Programme for UN Organizations, as well as the Arab League. It also collaborates with international cultural centers and organizations such as the French Cultural Center, the British Council, the International Red Cross, the Swedish Organization for Child Welfare, the Danish Refugee Council, the European Union, Mary Corps, Handicap International, the Global Children’s Forum, the Italian-Russian Emergency Programme, Norwegian People’s Aid, and World Vision.
